Carbon nanotubes for coherent spintronics. Materials Today 13(3): 18-26.1873-4103http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:5139116Carbon nanotubes bridge the molecular and crystalline quantum worlds, and their extraordinary electronic, mechanical and optical properties have attracted enormous attention from a broad scientific community. We review the basic principles of fabricating spin-electronic devices based on individual, electrically-gated carbon nanotubes, and present experimental efforts to understand their electronic and nuclear spin degrees of freedom, which in the future may enable quantum applications.en-USdouble-quantum dotsmechanical resonatorselectronic-structuretransportspinspectroscopymotionstategapsCommentary or Review2011-09-2210.1016/S1369-7021(10)70030-4
